    Keri unscented moisturizer

    JHL Cologne

    Me like da Speick so mucho - this cream has ingredients in it which work wonders on sensitive skin. I enjoyed a very nice, smooth and comfortable shave this morning, and the Polar Ice aftershave gave me that great barbershop scent which doesn't fight with my JHL cologne. ;) :biggrin:

    The cut has fully healed so I am back

    Hot shower
    Starbuck Italian Roast Black
    Palmolive Menthol SC
    Berkley 46, face lather
    Alcolado Glacial and Proraso ASB

    A very nice two pass shave today. I didn't want to overdo it this morning so I took it a bit easy, DFS. I love the palmolive menthol, very cool with some good skincare properties. With Alcolado Glacial a nice chilly shave for a wet Tuesday morning.

    I may have to get the Speick out tomorrow as it is great, but I'm trying to finish off what's left of my Bigelow cream. I just keep being able to squeeze more and more out of that tube. I guess I didn't get enough frost goodness on Menthol Monday so I added about 6 drops of M-Bomb to my lather bowl and mixed it nicely into the Bigelow with the 2234. Mounds of frosty lather had me singing Frosty the Snowman this morning and I now have the Christmas music playing at work. Anyone doing a 2am shave Friday mornign before getting out in the Black Friday nonsense?

    Shave Rating - Splendid. God Bless!

  16. The only thing that will be black on Friday is the darkness because my eyes will be closed. I will be sound asleep.

    Coffee: Home roasted, fresh ground Ethiopia Illubabor, BLACK
    Cream: KMF Unscented + 2 drops Em's Woodstock EO

    Shave Rating: 5 Blades

    Another super shave. With springs in the head, the Stahly makes for an interesting shave. Can't say that I'm keen on the wind up/vibrate feature.
